Making Tax Digital Key Dates
Since 2019, most VAT registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold (£85,000) have been required to keep digital VAT records and send VAT returns using Making Tax Digital (MTD) compatible software.
From April 2022 these requirements applied to all VAT registered businesses.
But there is more to come for MTD, with the launch date for MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD ITSA) fast approaching.
From April 2024, self-employed individuals and landlords with an annual income of more than £10,000 per year will be subject to the rules of MTD ITSA. Exemptions include non-resident companies, trustees, executors and administrators, and foreign businesses of non-UK domiciled individuals.
What does MTD ITSA involve?
A quarterly summary of income and expenses must be sent to HMRC using MTD compatible software. HMRC will then respond with an estimated tax calculation based on the information provided. At the end of the year, tax affairs can be finalised using the MTD software, replacing the need for a Self-Assessment tax return.
The deadlines for finalising tax affairs and making payments are not changing. Self-employed individuals and landlords can use the MTD software to submit all the information required under Self-Assessment, including employment income, bank and building society interest, dividends, pension contributions, and student loan repayments, etc.
Are there any more key dates for MTD ITSA?
From April 2025, MTD for ITSA will apply to partnerships with income over £10,000 per year. Also in April 2025, the penalty system in place for MTD for VAT will also be extended to MTD for ITSA users.
It is thought that Making Tax Digital for Corporation Tax (MTD CT) will be introduced in April 2026, although there is no legislation in place as yet to mandate this, so we will await official confirmation.
Need help with Making Tax Digital?
There is a lot to prepare for if you will be subject to MTD ITSA rules from April 2024. If you could use some expert help preparing and managing the transition, you are welcome to talk to the Office Assistants Team.

The Office of Retirement and Disability Policy (ORDP) is the principal advisor to the Commissioner of Social Security on major policy issues and comprises five offices, as outlined in our organization chart.
The research and policy analysis information on this website is the result of a collaborative effort primarily between two ORDP offices—the Office of Research, Demonstration, and Employment Support; and the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics. We work together to conduct research and policy analysis and disseminate the results in a variety of publications available on this website.
We also fund a variety of extramural projects and grants, including the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium.
For information on the microsimulation model we use in some of our research, visit our MINT Overview.
The Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics is the agency's source for statistics on the OASDI and SSI programs and the earnings of the working and beneficiary populations. We provide all the statistics and data on this website except for the National Beneficiary Survey: Disability Statistics, which is provided by the Office of Research, Demonstration, and Employment Support.
Below are our annual reports to the Office of Management and Budget required under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA).


What he found out, he's put into his explosive book, SOCIAL INSECURITY: 401(k)s and the Retirement Crisis. We spend the hour talking with Russell about 401k's, pension plans, and social security — and what can be done to make sure we don't end up poor in our old age.
Everywhere we hear a litany of doom about the retirement crisis. Social Security is supposed to be going broke fast. Politicians from President Obama to presidential hopeful Rand Paul want it cut and privatized, at least in part. We're told public sector pensions will bankrupt governments unless their promises to workers are abandoned. We also hear that 401k's are supposed to be our salvation: just keep socking away the maximum allowable amount in your 401k or similar plan every year and you'll be sitting pretty.
Well, that's what James W. Russell thought until the financial crash of 2008 took a giant bite out of his retirement nest egg. A professor of sociology at Eastern Connecticut University, he used his research skills to look into the matter more closely. What he found shocked him.
The old style pension plans that have all but disappeared — called "defined benefit" plans — were way better than the "defined contribution" plans — 401k's and the like — that have replaced them. And Social Security gives the best return of all — not just for old folks, but for their younger family members who don't have to bankrupt themselves supporting their aged parents or grandparents. Even more, what's happened to retirement plans since the 1980's represents a huge transfer of wealth from workers to Wall Street.
James W. Russell's book, SOCIAL INSECURITY: 401(k)s and the Retirement Crisis (Beacon Press) is a must-read for all who expect to retire some day. In gripping and eminently readable prose, he explains why 401k's are a bad deal, why Social Security is the best deal we have (and should be strengthened) and how to save public sector pensions. He says we need to expand Social Security, remove the cap on taxable earnings and allow people to invest in non-profit annuities.
James W. Russell is an expert and activist in retirement policy. He is the author of eight books, including Social Insecurity: 401(k)s and the Retirement Crisis, Double Standard: Social Policy in Europe and the United States, and Class and Race Formation in North America. He is also the co-chairperson of the Connecticut Committee for Equity in Retirement, a rank and file advocacy group that initiated a union campaign that won the right of public employees in Connecticut to transfer from their failing 401(k) type plan to the state's traditional pension.
Very insightful program. I will make it a point to sign up for other ptograms with you.
Public workers in 15 states – like my husband and I mid-career teachers in CA – are subject to the punitive GPO and WEP that reduce or eliminate our Social Security even though we contributed. This must be fixed.

Debes tener en cuenta que debes ser considerados ante otros, respetar y valorar aquellos individuos que colaborar para conseguir tus metas. Piensa en el pies derecho antes de tomar alguna decisión.
Mis buenos deseos para todos los que visitan mi blog. Feliz Comienzo de Año!
Esta mesita que era de color mahogany, la compró mi cuñada con el propósito de usarse informalmente en su sala de ver televisión como mesita de uso individual que acomoda un plato y un vaso.
Usé lija para remover el viejo color y se utilizó dos colores de pinturas para la técnica de glazeado. Luego se lijó algunas areas para que se viese gastado (distressed). Luce vintage pero moderna.
This year I didn't use my traditional Christmas tree. So I decided to create a Christmas vignette. All my Christmas decor was stored out my house. All I had available in the house was this vintage props. Last night I came up with this vignette.
The Vintage Lab wish you a Merry Merry Christmas.
As you can see I love these vintage cane chairs quite a bit.LOL. I was so happy to found the settee/bench. Let me share the before images.
The old velvet fabric was removed and I gave them a good clean. I want to keep the classy style and I used 3 yards (60″ wide) of a beautiful brocade fabric. After surfing the in I came to a conclusion that Hollywood Regency colors was definitely the style I was aiming for. I have used semi gloss spray paint from Rustleoum the primer and paint kind.
Above: Here is the inspiration.
Below: This is how my settee looks like so far. The chair is still drying but I couldnt resist posting my first picture.
I am planning to make some small decorative pillows. Next week you will see the cane chair after is done.
we are thankful for our blessings.
Handmade fofucha. It is a topper that goes on your pencil, gel pen etc. They are also great as cake topper. Sweet Sixteen, Bride and Groom Cake Topper and many others. Available in Naples Fl.
E mail me in you want custom order. Extra charge may apply for custom order.
I have always wanted a mirrored furniture. One day I saw this beautiful desk/vanity at a store. I fell in love, it is was so beautiful. But no way I want it to spend high tag price. No this time.
I found this mirrored furniture at a store.
At agarage sale i got this vanity. It was sturdy and all it needed was love. I got plenty of that. It was sanded it, painted it and added craft mirrors.

Pasteles de guineo. In the kitchen, the creators of the vintage lab also we prepare for the holidays. It is are custom to prepare those traditional Christmas meals. Here are the pictures I took of my mother teaching me step by step; how to make the "pasteles". They are very tasty and there is no one to compare with mom's recipe. I hope one day to prepare some on my own. It is a long process but worth it. We wish you Happy Holidays. And to my mom thank you very much for your love and your patience. I love you mommy.

Q: Python logger is not printing debug messages, although it is set correctly I have the following code, where I just want to play around with the logging
module using contextmanager.
from contextlib import contextmanager
import logging

@contextmanager
def log_level(level, name):
    logger = logging.getLogger(name)
    old_level = logger.getEffectiveLevel()
    print('log_level.old_level: ' + str(old_level))
    logger.setLevel(level)
    print('log_level.new_level: ' + str(logger.getEffectiveLevel()))
    try:
        yield logger
    finally:
        logger.setLevel(old_level)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    with log_level(logging.DEBUG, 'my-log') as logger:
        print('__main__.log_level.logger.level: ' + str(logger.getEffectiveLevel()))
        logger.debug('Debug with logger: will print')
        logger.warning('Warning')
        print('__main__.log_level.logger.level: ' + str(logger.getEffectiveLevel()))
    print('__main__.logger.level: ' + str(logger.getEffectiveLevel()))

As one can see, inside the main.log_level, the logger level should be DEBUG and it should print the message 'Debug with logger: will print'. However, when I run the code, this debug message does not print. Looking the prints of the code, It says that the logger has DEBUG level while inside log_level, and that the level goes back to WARNING when it exits log_level. Here it is my output, when executing with python 3:
log_level.old_level: 30
log_level.new_level: 10
__main__.log_level.logger.level: 10
Warning
__main__.log_level.logger.level: 10
__main__.logger.level: 30

I would like some help to understand why logger.debug('Debug with logger: will print') is not printing.

A: You haven't attached any handlers to your logger. As a result, an internal "handler of last resort" is used, which only outputs events at levels WARNING and above. See this part of the documentation to see what happens if no handler configuration is provided. If you call logging.basicConfig() before your with statement, the DEBUG messages should appear.
Note that the docs also contain working examples of using context managers with logging.

Puteaux Group, Section d'Or, Cubism
Lhote was born in Bordeaux and learnt wood carving and sculpture from the age of 12, when his father apprenticed him to a local furniture maker to be trained as a sculptor in wood. He enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux in 1898 and studied decorative sculpture until 1904. Whilst there, he began to paint in his spare time. He left home in 1905, moving into his own studio to devote himself to painting. He was influenced by Gauguin and Cézanne and held his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Druet in 1910, four years after he had moved to Paris.
After initially working in a fauvist style, Lhote shifted towards cubism and joined the Section d'Or group in 1912, exhibiting at the Salon de la Section d'Or. He was alongside some of the fathers of modern art, including Gleizes, Villon, Duchamp, Metzinger, Picabia and La Fresnaye. He was then in contact with the famous art dealer Ambroise Vollard, and became friends with Andre Gide and Maurice Denis.
His fame grew and he organized his first solo show under the patronage of Jacques Rivière and André Salmon. He sought to create a modern plastically language, without denying the tradition, from Fouquet to Ingres and Cézanne. Inspired by the synthetism of Gauguin (circa 1906), then by an elegant cezannism (circa 1910), he adopted a synthetic cubism around 1917, similar to that of La Fresnaye and Gris.
The outbreak of the First World War interrupted his work and, after being discharged from the army in 1917, he became one of the Group of Cubists supported by Léonce Rosenberg. In 1918, he co-founded the Nouvelle Revue Française, the art journal to which he contributed articles on art theory until 1940. Lhote taught at the Académie Notre-Dame des Champs from 1918 to 1920. In 1922, he founded his own art school in Montparnasse, where Tamara de Lempicka and Henri Cartier – Bresson studied.
He organized a lot of lecture tours on his theoretical findings in France and abroad. In 1938, the painter purchased an old house in Gordes, where he saw the beginning of the war with his wife and his colleague painter Marc Chagall.
The couple stayed in this house until 1942, then went back to Paris, where Lhote became a teacher again in the school of painting. At the end of the war, André Lhote made a new lecture tour in Belgium, England, Italy, and for the first time in 1950 in Egypt, where he gave some conferences at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo.
In 1952, his theoretical essays on art led him to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Bahia. In 1955, The Grand National Prize of Painting rewarded him for his artwork. The UNESCO committee for the sculpture named Lhote President of the "International Association of Painters, Engravers and Sculptors" organization.

Weekend Walk – Sunday Click!
Getting dressed in the cold months of winter can prove quite challenging as we end up covered in way too many layers, hiding our creativity behind thick scarves and massive jackets. So, there's nothing like a good coat and some pretty accessories to save the day! Also, thick tights (and not taking too long walks) will let you get away with those cute, short skirts you've been wearing all fall. I actually quite like how this turned out, but I'm still on the hunt for more winter style tricks. Will surely share them, so stay tuned!
I was wearing: coat, top, hat and boots – Zara; skirt – Stradivarius.

Doctor Who: Time Trials – The Terror Beneath
Mariano Laclaustra
James Peaty
UK publisher / ISBN: Titan Comics - 978-1-785860836
Does this pass the Bechdel test?: no
Categories: Adventure, Science-Fiction, TV, Film or Video Game tie-in
Time Trials is the collective title applied to the three collections of material issued covering what was technically Peter Capaldi's third year as Doctor Who in 2017. They concern a bunch of missions that send him back in time, here to the desolation of an out of season British seaside town in the 1970s, and small town USA in the 1950s.
George Mann and Mariano Laclaustra supply 'Beneath the Waves' in three parts. It's quite the joyful evocation of the type of plots the Doctors of the 1970s were involved with, featuring monsters that could be simply constructed from the Blue Peter craft book. Mann returns Hattie (from The Twist), although distressing as it may have been, inhabitants of rural Britain in the 1970s wouldn't have been as accepting of a bald black woman with tattoos on her head. Best not to open that can of worms, though. For the most part, this is a jolly romp, but Mann's story structure isn't the neatest. Both here and with his earlier Doctor Who efforts time is spent wondering as to the purpose of a character beyond the requirement of the Doctor needing someone to talk with (or at). He always comes good, Hattie has a novel role in the conclusion, and the relationship Mann builds with the Doctor is subtle and interesting. It's also where Mariano Laclaustra is at his best, supplying an emotional counterpoint to the action. Given the design of the monsters is supposed to be makeshift, the only problem with his impressive figurative art is that all too often the characters seem to be floating on the page.
James Peaty and Warren Pleece's accompanying story is very knowing in drawing all the characters from archetypes, and providing roles for the farming couple from American Gothic is funny, but there are some considerable plot holes. Perhaps it's been established somewhere that the Doctor's digital glasses can teleport people, but that's gratuitously convenient here, and requiring some prescience on the Doctor's part. 'The Boy With the Displaced Smile' provides some interesting visuals, not least the displaced smile itself, but otherwise a town possessed has the feeling of familiarity, an uninspired narrative standby.
Time Trials continues with The Wolves of Winter.

Our partnership with Motor Trend Magazine has led to the sale of some of the world's most significant supercars. Their show circuit allows us to interact with our devoted fans and show you all just a small glimpse of what our dealers are capable of. While taking duPont REGISTRY on the road is always a rewarding experience, the best and most powerful show in our lineup is our hometown.
The duPont REGISTRY was founded in the Tampa Bay area over thirty years ago, so our fans demanded the very best for this year's Tampa Bay International Auto Show. If you remember all the way back to August, our cover car was a black LaFerrari. Since only 499 were produced, it is one of the cars you never expect to see in person. But, thanks to our friends at Naples Motorsports, we were the main attraction.
Thursday night was hot and humid, and the typical Tampa thunderstorms arrived just as Exotic Car Transport's bright yellow trailer began to unload. First off was a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador SV. I have driven the "base model" Aventador, but the SV is something completely different. With magnetic suspension and an interior devoid of insulation, the driver feels much more connected to the road. Since Tampa's finest had blocked off the roads to public traffic, the urge to navigate their cones in a spirited manner was present, but the rain put a damper on the activities.
Once the Aventador was in place, Ferrari of Tampa Bay arrived with a new California T and FF. If you haven't driven a turbocharged Cali, the revised suspension and new power make for a great convertible cruiser. The FF is loaded with white carbon fiber throughout the interior and was ordered with almost every available option.
Next in was a brilliant white Lexus LFA. Three words can be used to describe the experience: smoothest engine, ever! The V10 reaches 9,000 rpm faster than the tachometer car display, but no vibrations can be felt. One aspect that lets you know it is running is an exhaust note reminiscent of Formula 1 cars. Probably the most practical supercar in the world, all controls and infotainment are in a logical Japanese fashion. This particular car's first owner was none other than Paris Hilton, making for a unique irony in that we unloaded in the driveway of the Marriott hotel.
Last but not least was the main attraction: the LaFerrari. At first I was hesitant to get behind the wheel. Just kidding, I was excited as ever to get behind Ferrari's hypercar. Pressing the "Engine Start" sends voltage to the electric motors and slow speed maneuvering is done silently. Since the battery was on the low side, I was startled when the V12 roared to life. We're not sure where the mufflers are, because the soundtrack is nothing short of deafening.
Once the supercars were placed, Mercedes-Benz of Tampa brought a full lineup of new turbocharged AMGs. If you keep reading that twelve-cylinder power is a thing of the past, the Maybach S600 along with the S65 AMG coupe and sedans beg to differ. Including the big Benz models, along with our supercar showcase, we had six cars with V12 power.
Each year we find a way to outdo ourselves, but it would not be possible without our dealers and our loyal fans. Be sure to check our Facebook page for our upcoming show schedule.
Happy Thanksgiving from the duPont REGISTRY!

Samsung Omnia M spotted at the FCC
Ubergizmo Tyler Lee May 24, 2012
Ubergizmo May 24, 2012
Tyler Lee May 24, 2012 Read Source
A couple of weeks ago, we reported that Samsung had officially announced the Omnia M Windows Phone handset for Europe. At that point in time, it looked as though the handset was set for a European launch and there was no mention if it would ever make its way stateside, at least until now. It looks as though the Samsung Omnia M has been recently spotted at the FCC although it looks like it will only come with GSM and 3G radios, so for those hoping for an LTE capable Windows Phone handset, you'll have to turn to other devices like the Nokia Lumia 900.
For those who might have missed our coverage, the Omnia M will sport a 4" Super AMOLED display with a 1GHz single-core processor under its hood. It will come bundled with Samsung software like AllShare an ChatON, a VGA front-facing camera and a 5MP rear-facing camera and will run on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Now that its cleared the FCC hurdle, we have to wonder when we will it be launched and which carrier it could be headed to, so be sure to check back with us in the future as we will keep you updated on the situation!

Buhari Is Dead: Professor Woke Soyinka Voices Out Finally
Everyday that passes by, we see the truth unfold about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's prophecies. His revelations about the dead President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari have been consistent. The Nigerian Nobel Laurette, Professor Wole Soyinka recently spoke about the absence of the Nigerian President. He added that the Nigerian situation has worsened as a result of the imperial nature of it's leadership at the socio-political and religious levels.
Soyinka, a Professor of Literature, spoke at the Booksellers, venue of the presentation of his new book titled: 'Chronicles of the Happiest People On Earth'. He stated: "With the turbulence that characterises the year 2020, and as activities wind down, the mood has been repugnant and very negative. I do not want to sound pessimistic but this is one of the most pessimistic years I have known in this nation and it was not just because of COVID-19, no! Natural disasters had happened elsewhere but how have you managed to take such in their strides?"
"Was calamity as a result of human negligence or as a result of malignant activities when people find themselves under the control of other beings which I am afraid what most Nigerians find themselves in, it is like you do not know from where the blow would descend. That is not the way a nation should be and that is not the way the citizens should exist. The situation has reached a point where you are not very sure of where you are going and where you will end. As I had said before, you do not believe in many instances, that anybody is in charge. That really, it is a parlous condition for any nation. So, I am afraid it has not been a very good year for me generally."
We can also remember that the Nobel Laurette on 6th June, 2020, had said: "I have said this before. I do not believe there is really anybody in charge in Aso Rock. I am sorry to say this. I have been studying the trend over the past year and half, and I believe this; the President is not in charge of this nation, in so many aspects and directions. I am convinced he is not really and totally with it".
On 10th November 2018, the founder of Oduduwa Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun in an interview also lamented that nobody is in charge of Nigeria.
In his statement, he said: "Our problem is leadership. There is no leadership. The general impression in Nigeria is that nobody is in charge. If anybody is in charge, the lives of almost two hundred (200) million people will not be like this. This is why whatever is happening now is provoking Nigerians to be more assertive in their choice of leaders. That was why some of us are anxious about who comes on in 2019 and the type of leadership we want for Nigeria".
The former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, also made the same statement. He has shaded President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that he appears not to be in charge of even his own government, much more Nigeria.
Recall that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have very boldly been advocating that President 'Muhammadu Buhari' is dead and was buried in Saudi Arabia since 2017. He affirmed it even when he was interviewed by Dele Momodu which he (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) staked his life for. But most Nigerians are looking the other way about the truth. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always asked that DNA test be conducted on the man parading himself as the present Nigerian President or let the said President come out openly and address Nigerians with his local language, precisely "fulfude", which was the native Fulani language of the dead Buhari.

California's air quality board voted unanimously on Thursday to approve methane regulations touted as the strictest adopted yet in the United States for controlling emissions of the second-most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
The rules, approved by the California Air Resources Board, tighten efficiency requirements for production and transportation of natural gas and for some oil-handling equipment, including installation of emissions-recapture technology.
They also mandate more stringent monitoring and reporting of potential gas leaks as a means of pinpointing and repairing them quickly.
Methane, the main component of commercially distributed natural gas, is also a byproduct of oil extraction. Pound for pound, it traps significantly more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, the most prevalent greenhouse gas, though its effects are shorter-lived.
The 14-member board announced its approval of the methane rules at the end of a daylong meeting in Riverside, California, east of Los Angeles.
Nobody raises an eyebrow when California takes steps to rein in air pollution – but what's going on when conservative-leaning rust belt states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania are doing the same?
At a time when the Trump administration and Congress seek to scale back federal rules targeting methane emissions from energy production, a growing number of states that swung in favor of Trump in 2016 are heading in the opposite direction.
It reminds us that states that recognize good policy still have the power to act, regardless of who controls Washington. Ohio and Pennsylvania, now following in the footsteps of Colorado, Wyoming and California, are the latest examples of this.
Methane emissions from natural gas-fired power plants are much higher than federal officials have previously estimated, according to a new study.
Researchers from Purdue University concluded in a study published Tuesday that gas plants emit between two and 120 times the amount of methane that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has most recently estimated.
Methane is the main component of natural gas. It is also a greenhouse gas at least 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
"There is much more methane being released into the atmosphere by leaky compressors, valves, and industrial hardware," Paul Shepson, an atmospheric chemistry professor at Purdue, said in a statement.
The research was published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
As Pennsylvania considers requiring the oil and gas industry to plug its leaks to better protect air quality, the Trump administration is proposing to slash the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's budget by 25 percent.
If ever there was a time for Pennsylvania's lawmakers and regulators to step up and safeguard Pennsylvanians' health and the environment, it is now.
In-depth research by Earthworks on natural gas processing and compression facilities in southwestern Pennsylvania, including infrared videos and air testing at nearby homes, shows that these facilities pollute the air with methane and dozens of chemicals associated with asthma, headaches, cancer, neurological changes and other health problems.
Each year, environmental pollutants cost an estimated 1.7 million lives among children under 5, according to World Health Organization reports released Monday.
The new numbers equate to these pollutants being the cause of one in four deaths of children 1 month to 5 years old.
One new report highlights that the most common causes of child death are preventable through interventions already available to the communities most affected. These causes are diarrhea, malaria and pneumonia, which can be prevented using insecticide-treated bed nets, clean cooking fuels and improved access to clean water.
"A polluted environment is a deadly one -- particularly for young children," Dr. Margaret Chan, the WHO director-general, said in a statement. "Their developing organs and immune systems, and smaller bodies and airways, make them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water."
Infants exposed to indoor or outdoor air pollution, including secondhand smoke, have an increased risk of pneumonia during childhood as well as an increased risk of chronic respiratory diseases -- such as asthma -- for the rest of their lives, one report states.
A group representing thousands of Pennsylvania doctors, nurses and other health care professionals has sent a letter to the Marcellus Shale Coalition, requesting that it stop legal challenges and lobbying against regulations aimed at controlling drilling air emissions and safeguarding public health.
The one-page letter to the shale gas drilling industry's major Pennsylvania lobbying organization states that drilling operations can have deleterious impacts on public health, especially children, seniors and people with existing lung problems, and urges the industry to abide by emissions controls proposed for methane, volatile organic compounds and other pollutants.
Hydraulic fracture oil and gas wells spill pretty often, according to a recent study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
That study, along with a companion paper which appeared in the journal Science of the Total Environment, analyzed spill data and behavior across four states—Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota and Pennsylvania—with the goal of identifying common causes of spills to help industries improve.
If you feel like you've heard this story before, you haven't. Most studies on hydraulic fracture, or fracking, focus on underground leaks. This study focused exclusively on leaks at the surface, which can harm wildlife—most notably birds and marine creatures—as well as impact drinking water sources. Fracking fluid contains a slurry of chemicals, many of which are known to be dangerous and even more of which are kept secret by the companies that produce them. Many hydraulic fracture sites are located in close proximity to headwater streams that feed into public drinking water systems, so aboveground leaks can pose a big risk.
Researchers studied data from 31,481 hydraulic fracture wells, which dig deep into the ground to fracture or splinter rock formations and release the natural gas or oil trapped inside. They found that from 2005 to 2014 there were 6,648 spills, as defined by each of the four state's reporting requirements. The researchers created an interactive map allowing viewers to search by location, year, and cause of spill.
Racing to the Bottom on Methane Emissions?
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Clean air advocates are concerned that a bill in the state Senate would undermine efforts to control a major contributor to climate change.
Over a 20-year time period, methane, the main component of natural gas, is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.
And Pennsylvania puts a lot of methane into the atmosphere – 115,000 tons in 2014 alone, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.
SB 175 would prevent the DEP from imposing any regulations on emissions of methane that are more restrictive than federal regulations.
But according to Joseph Minott, executive director of the Clean Air Council, federal regulations are intended to be the floor, not the ceiling.
"The very way that the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act are written is to provide states the opportunity to go beyond the minimum that EPA requires," he points out.
Pennsylvania is the second biggest producer of natural gas, and sponsors of the bill say imposing additional restrictions on methane emissions would put the state at a competitive disadvantage.
Seeking to prevent much-needed rules on methane emissions from shale gas infrastructure, state Sen. Guy Reschenthaler badly misreads the Pennsylvania Department of Health's 2015 Asthma Focus Report by cherry-picking data showing asthma-related hospitalizations declining from 2009-2013 and jumps to a careless conclusion that "Pennsylvania's air is getting cleaner because of increased natural gas production" ("Natural Gas Is Improving Our Air," Feb. 1 Perspectives). Had the senator read the report more carefully, he would have noted that emergency room admissions for asthma increased significantly in Pennsylvania during this period to an "all-time high." Furthermore, there is a map clearly showing that the highest rates of hospitalization for asthma outside Philadelphia County occur in the Marcellus shale gas patch in southwestern Pennsylvania.


Selling your house in 2014? Here are a dozen top tips from the Leggett team….
1. Price it sensibly – the market is coming back but buyers are still looking for a bargain. Your house needs to stand out on your agents website & on the property portals and you really should put your personal involvement to one side and listen to your agent.
2. Make sure that your agent takes great photos – if you can persuade them to make a virtual tour of your property so that international buyers can get a real feel for your home then all the better.
3. First impressions count – the first 30 seconds are vital. Take a look at your property through the eyes of a stranger and tidy your garden/entrance and add a splash of colour.
4. Don't just tidy but clean too – we've all seen the TV experts talking about de-cluttering your house but go one step further and make sure it's clean too. "One careful owner" works for houses too!
5. Your house should smell nice – lucky you if you have time to bake bread & put on a fresh pot of coffee but even if you don't then make sure there are no noxious odours and add a few scented "plug ins" in discreet locations. Don't go over the top though!
6. You might love your cat/dog but not everyone will – animals make a mess, particularly around their food bowls and litter trays. Clean it up and try and make your favourite pet scarce.
7. Kitchens are important – there's no need to show dirty crockery in the sink and the remains of last night's "Coq au Vin", no matter how delightful. Keep your kitchen in pristine condition so that it feels welcoming.
8. Bathrooms are too – OK, it's not going to be the most important room in the house but dirty towels on the floor or toilets that need flushing can undo a lot of hard work that has gone on before.
9. Bedrooms – as a minimum you should make the beds and tidy up. If your bedroom has a great view of the countryside then make sure visitors get to see it fully.
10. Add some colour – there's a good reason that canny property developers fill their show homes with fresh flowers. They create a warm & friendly feel so if you have a chance the get in the garden and cut a few fresh flowers.
11. Fix all the little "niggly issues" before you put the house on the market – don't give buyers the opportunity to beat you down on price because of dripping gutters, leaking taps or peeling wallpaper.
12. Let your agent do their job – OK they may not know every nook & cranny as well as you do but they will know their buyers and they will be able to focus on their "hot buttons".

In the newly renovated Peterborough, NH gallery space I opened my most recent gallery installation on August 26 (2016). All of the pieces focused on Bears in various (often comical) ways. Here are a few shots from the show.


Approximately 10 per cent of those with German origins still speak or understand German – including celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Henry Kissinger and Leonardo DiCaprio. In the U.S., these roughly five million people are targeted by a strong German-language media presence composed of over 100 newspapers, magazines, community newsletters and bulletins, as well as around 100 local radio programs and roughly 20 local television broadcasts.
It's also worth noting that, worldwide, the U.S. have the oldest weekly German-language newspapers, beginning with the "New Yorker Staats-Zeitung", which began publication in 1834. At first, this newspaper was one of the biggest in the U.S. Almost as old as the New York paper is Michigan's 1854-founded "Nordamerikanische Wochen-Post". "The Saxon News – Volksblatt", founded by Cleveland's Allianz der Siebenbürger Sachsen, and "Eintracht", the weekly paper out of greater Chicago, were founded not long ago: they were launched in 1902 and 1922, respectively. The tradition-rich "Eintracht" primarily targets the many German-Americans living in the northwestern U.S. Its importance has attracted interviews with numerous outstanding people, including Konrad Adenauer, Willy Brandt, rocket pioneer von Braun, national soccer coach Sepp Herberger and four U.S. presidents. Among the newspaper scene's true newbies are the East Coast-based "Amerika-Woche" and California's "Neue Presse", both founded in the second half of the 20th century. "Amerika-Woche" is one of the biggest publications – especially since its merger with the "Freien Zeitung" (founded 1858) and the "Washington Journal" (1859) in the late 1990s. Noteworthy magazines include "German World" (founded 2002), targeted toward young German speakers and language learners, the colorful women's magazine "Das Fenster" out of Georgia (1904) and the widely circulated tourism magazine "Florida Sun" (1999). These contemporary designed publications highlight how lively and promising the American German-language media market can be.

First Rizal Monument: Honoring Our National Hero
Rizal Monument is a three-tiered stone pylon with its square base supporting a triangle in two stages, the last one tapering off to a point.
by Kheem Caparas on June 27, 2012
Rizal Monument is a three-tiered stone pylon with its square base supporting a triangle in two stages, the last one tapering off to a point. Built in 1898, the First Monument of Rizal in the Philippines is located across the Old Daet Municipal Hall. Its foundation, it is believed, is made of mortars and boulders from the demolished Old Spanish Jail in Daet where many patriots died, making it historically and culturally significant.
The Rizal Monument can be found in the town of Daet in Camarines Norte Province.
Camarines Norte is about six hours drive from Manila through lush forests and picturesque seascapes. Leave Manila before dawn and eat a sumptuous breakfast of native dishes in nipa huts along the highway. Drop by fruit vendors along the way and savor the place's most delectable fruit - the piña. Before noon, you'll be in Daet, the capital, in time for business or pleasure. You can ride a bus from different bus companies like Amihan, Superlines, and PhilTranco, at terminals located in Pasay and Cubao.
Camarines Norte can also be reached by air through the Pili Airport in Camarines Sur. Airline companies like Zest Air, Philippine Airlines, and Cebu Pacific have routes from Manila to Pili, Camarines Sur. From the airport you can take a bus or a cab to Daet via Naga City, Camarines Sur's capital and home to Bicol's Patroness - Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia.

Q: Resend old logs from filebeat to logstash Thanks in advance for your help. I would like to reload some logs to customize additional fields. I have noticed that registry file in filebeat configuration keeps track of the files already picked. However, if I remove the content in that file, I am not getting the old logs back. I have tried also to change the timestamp of the source in registry file with no sucsess. What changes are needed to sent old logs from filebeat to logstash?
How can I get the logs back?

#xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:

However, I do not get the log neither Kibana nor Graylog. It is worth noting that the same kind of logs for INFO level related to the same class are visible in Kibana and Graylog, but not the ones with DEBUG level.
Do you know what would be wrong?
Thanks a lot

A: *

*Stop filebeat and logstash.

*Clear old data from Elasticsearch if there.

*Delete registry files registry and registry.old.

*Run logstash.

*Run filebeat using command filebeat -e -once.

A: The registry keeps the inode and byte offset.  Removing the content doesn't change the inode.  Try shutting down filebeat and removing/resetting the byte offset in the registry.

Helping writers write and get published
Political journalist Nick Hunter suddenly loses his memory. He can't find his wallet, his computer password or even his name. When it comes to women it's even more confusing. Does he have a lover or a wife?
It doesn't get any easier when he realises his life is in danger as he's been researching a story on corruption at the highest level of political life. Things get even stickier once Nick has a 6-shooter out of his safety deposit box and in his hand, ready to fire in his own defence.
Set in the northern and eastern suburbs of Sydney where coffee and sex are almost too freely available, this story will sharpen your senses and set your crime thriller compass on true course.

Q: ubuntu 12.04 nvidia breaks resolution i am running ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and i have a nvidia Geforce GT 650m, it was running fine with 1920 x 1024, except a lot of tearing everytime i ran videos. I thought activating the nvidia driver maybe would fix this.
When entering "nvidia X server setting" it says " you do not appear to be using nvidia X driver. Please edit your X configuration file ( just run "nvidia-xconfig" as root), and restart the X server. I did and then the computer reboots with a resolutioin of 640 x 480. How can i restore the previous settings, or preferably get it to show full resolution without tearing ?
When i enter "nvidia X Server Settings" now it still says the same as above, " do not appear to be using nvidia X driver"
when i go to "system settings, additional drivers" it says nvidia_current --> "This driver is activated but not currently in use"

A: You are using a mobile GPU, so i'm assuming you are using it in a laptop, probably in a configuration with a 3rd Gen Intel Core CPU (Ivy Bridge). All mobile versions for the Ivy Bridge feature the Intel HD 4000 graphics as integrated graphics processor (IGP).
Summary

*

*Delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf (don't forget to make a backup)

*Manually switch between IGP and dedicated GPU using either Bumblebee or PRIME.

Background
This configuration has the advantage, that for less graphic intensive applications the IGU can be used which has a lower energy-consumption. However, in my case it meant, that Ubuntu always used the IGU independent of whether I had installed the Nvidia drivers or not. That's why your configuration says This driver is activated but not currently in use.
Low Resolution Problem
You probably have never used your Nvidia card until you asked the question. The xorg.conf generated by nvidia-xconfig expects a Nvidia card to be used, that is not the case, so I guess the X-server uses some failsafe output mode. That Problem can easily be solved  by deleting xorg.conf file.
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Than restart your Window Manager (or reboot), e.g.
sudo restart lightdm

You should have your resolution back now.
Switching between IGU and dedicated GPU
There are multiple ways how to approach enabling support for hybrid graphics. The Hybrid Graphics Linux Team (new user max 2 links, google for launchpad+hybrid-graphics-linux) gives a comprehensive overview. From what I've seen the easiest to use and most advanced technologies are Bumblebee and PRIME. In both cases you start the applications that should use the dedicated GPU with a specific prefix.
Bumblebee
Bumblebee either uses the free noveau or the proprietary Nvidia driver. So far I only tried Bumblebee, which seems to be the better working solution for the Intel and Nvidia combination.
There is an Ubuntu wiki page (google wiki+ubuntu+Bumblebee), that describes the steps on how to install it. After the installation you can run applications using the dedicated GPU by prefixing them with optirun. E.g.:
optirun glxgears

The Nvidia settings will only work if the card is active so you have to run
optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

to get to the settings. The monitor configuration works via the default tool.
Addendum
PRIME seems to be working good in the combination AMD-IGU with Nvidia GPU. But There does not seem to be much comprehensive reading about it.
The hybrid support is still somewhat early and depending on your specific configuration either PRIME or Bumblebee may be the better solution for you.

A: have you tried gksu nvidia-settings,if so i would try and install latest experimental drivers (310) and watch to see if it actually downloads the new drivers,i had to do this a couple of times to make mine work in 12.10

Australian, Best Things You've Never Heard	— March 16, 2014 at 2:45 pm
CROSSON
by Troy Culpan
"The future of our planet is dominated by 'Boy Bands' and 'Hip Hop Artists" and CROSSON has been sent back in time from Earth's decadent future to save the future of Rock and Metal. Our goal – to Spread The Rock N Roll Disease."
From Bio: Transported back in time from our decedent future, post apocalyptic rock warriors CROSSON, have arrived in the 21st century to save the future of Rock & Metal. Their quest….. to 'Spread The Rock n Roll Disease!!'
Fusing melodic heavy rock and big harmonies with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, reminiscent of The Darkness, Steel Panther and KISS, CROSSON's brand of catchy rock anthems is enticing on their new EP "Spreading The Rock n Roll Disease"
Nothing can prepare you for the visual onslaught CROSSON delivers in its live show. Numerous costume changes, blended with high- energy choreography, smoke, sirens, and catchy tunes makes the CROSSON live show a "seen- to- be- believed" entertaining experience.
Join the CROSSON revolution and start "Spreading The Rock N Roll Disease"!!!
We had Crosson answer some questions for us about the band, their music, the future and spreading the Rock N Roll disease…
Let's start with the basics; for those that aren't aware of you, can you please give us the abridged version of the Crosson story, how you all came to be and the decision on the name of the band?
As for the name, well if its good enough for Bon Jovi, DIO, Dokken, Van Halen etc its good enough for us.
Can you now please introduce each band member including yourself, and give us a rock 'n' roll fact or myth about each of you?
CROSSON (moi) – The reason the Tribunal Of Rock sent me back to the 21st century was because all acts with any musical talent were unavailable or imprisoned for converting to Hip Hop. My only request is that I had 2 x Rock N Roll Goddesses accompany me.
Ms Devine & Electra Love – CROSSON's two seductresses whose titillating stage moves bring to life the whole CROSSON experience . These two are the Rock N Roll wenches from hell….and of course, they are constantly busting my chops!!!
When recording in your century, we have had the pleasure of using Australia's finest rock musicians – Joel McDonald (Guitars), Jordon McDonald (Drums), John Kater on bass and the amazing Amanda Easton on bv's.
You have just released your new EP 'Spreading The Rock N Roll Disease', so instead of giving us a standard review, let's say if you had to give us your best door to door sales pitch to try and convince someone to listen to it before they slam the door in your face, what do you say to them?
I'll let the music critics do the talking on this one:
" If you like the of idea of KISS and Motley Crue crossed with The Darkness and Steel Panther, your gonna love CROSSON……. this EP is a delight, full of catchy, infectious, anthemic, sing-it shout-it rock tunes" – Xavier Russell – Classic Rock Magazine AOR
"Spreading the Rock 'n' Roll Disease is definitely one hell of an infectious EP. But not to worry, all you will catch from this CD is an addiction to the music!! …..Think Sex Pistols merged with The Darkness and you're only about half way there…. this EP should be on everyone's "guilty pleasure" list." – Mark Lloyd – Room Thirteen
In terms of your song writing, what do you consider to be the most important ingredients that make up one of your songs?
As Roy Thomas Baker (Queen's producer) once said "More is More". What we strive for is catchy anthemic songs with huge harmonies, rockin' guitars and ripping solos. The aim with every Crosson song is that by the time you hit the 2nd chorus you are singing along and banging their head at same time while painfully trying to hit the high harmonies!
Both lyrically and musically, what or who inspires/influences your music the most?
Ahhh so many. Paul Stanley, Michael Sweet, Nikki Sixx, Klaude Schnell & Rudi Schenker, Jon Bon Jovi. I could ramble all night on this one. As for what comes out lyrically, I guess it depends on what I've been surrounding myself with. I've been reading lots of inspirational material of late hence 'Take Another Shot' and 'All About The Music'. On the other spectrum 'Taxman' was written after receiving a large land bill!!
The video to 'All About The Music' is a great concept, tell us a bit about how you came up with it…
We wanted to show CROSSON in our futuristic world, being transported back in time to 'spread our rock n roll disease' to the 21 century. As with our last 2 videos The CROSSON logo is the portal between our two worlds.
You worked with some great names in making the EP, in particular Duane Baron who's worked with the likes of Ozzy and Motley Crue, why was he the right choice for your debut EP?
Some of my favourite albums were, mixed / engineered/ produced by Duane including Ozzy's' No More Tears',' Motley Crue's "Theatre of Pain" & "Girls Girls Girls" Poison's "Open Up and Say Ahh" just to name a few. As I grew up listening and loving these records it was an honour to have Duane on board. Plus more importantly he said Yes!!
When mixing the title track I noticed he had put one reverse cymbal in there as he had done in Poison's 'Nothin But A Good Time". I said "Dude, this is your trade mark , just go for it"
We also had Mikko Karmilla mix 3 x tracks for us. The reasoning was "If he can mix Nightwish (with their amazing choirs and harmonies), then mixing CROSSON will be a no brianer!! Plus he said Yes also!
Not to jump the gun, but are there already plans for future releases?
Funny you should ask. Yes we head back into the studio on the 24th Feb to lay down another 4 tracks which will appear an on Special Japanese release of "Spreading The Rock N Roll Disease". Duane Baron is back on board for these 4 tracks. The great thing about digital sales is you can just download those tracks if you already have the EP.
There are also 5 songs fully demoed for the next album, which will probably see the light of day sometime in mid 2015.
Do you have any gigs on the horizon, and if so, where can people come and catch you play?
If you want to see the CROSSON rock n roll extravaganza, please like our us at www.facebook.com/crossonrock and we'll keep you updated as to when we are next in your area.
For a bit of fun, say you get the chance to open for any artist or band in the world, who would they be and why?
Opening for KISS at Tokyo Dome would be neat!! KISS set the bar, and still continue to do so, as far as an amazing live show. Iron Maiden and Motley Crue come a close second. If you are going to play live, be the band that you want to see.
If you could cover one song in your live set that no one would ever expect, what would it be and why?
A flash back from the 70's that I think would work is Pilot's "Sky High" done with big guitars, crashing drums and harmonies. I haven't heard a heavy remake of that!!
Give us one word that you feel sums up Crosson as a whole…
Anthemic!!
Lastly, with 2014 just begun, here's a chance to gaze into your magic mirror and see the future. So, by the end of 2014, Crosson will:
1. Secure licensing in Japan and Europe
2. Start our international tour
3. "Spreading The Rock N Roll Disease" around the globe!!
Thanks for your time today and May the Rock be with You!
And also with you!!
From: Sydney, Australia
Sounds like: Theatrical Rock
Band members: Crosson, Ms Devine & Electra Love

If you're a student of physics, you might understand the abstract concepts behind Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle of quantum mechanics or Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which describes gravitation. But if you're an English major, you might think about the words "uncertainty" or "gravity" in a more poetic sense. They are, after all, words found in Shakespeare's sonnets. That is, unless you're Sarah Wells '17, a Clark University student who combines a passion for literature, language and writing with a love of science.

Spain gets last word on London sale of Botticelli painting
by: COLLEEN BARRY and JOSEPH WILSON, Associated Press
A portrait of Michele Marrulo by artist Sandro Botticelli hangs at Trinity Fine Arts' Frieze Masters booth in London, England, Monday Sept. 30, 2019. The Botticelli portrait of a humanist poet that long hung in Madrid's El Prado Museum is being offered this week for sale during annual London's Frieze Masters fair for 30 million euros.

MILAN (AP) — A Botticelli portrait of a humanist poet that long hung in Madrid's El Prado Museum is being offered this week for sale during London's Frieze Masters art fair for $30 million. But a Spanish law on cultural treasures might create difficulties for a foreign buyer seeking to bring the treasure home.
The painting dating from 1500 is billed as the last by the Florentine Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli in private hands outside of Italy and on the international art market, generating excitement around the annual Frieze art fair, which opens Thursday.
The sale is being arranged by Trinity Art Gallery in London. Gallery owner and Italian art dealer Carlo Orsi said the painting's strength is in its expression and the significance of the person it portrays: Michele Marrulo, a well-known Latin poet of the Medici court and adventurer of the Renaissance.
"Portraits mirror the human person, and Botticelli in this case represents this humanist poet and warrior with an incredible force of expression that is moving," Orsi said.
Carl Brandon Strehlke, curator emeritus of the Philadelphia Museum of Art who compiled the catalog for the sale, said the subject's pose is defiant, "bust-length with wild eyes, hair out of place. It seems as if he is about to say something or talk."
Botticelli has "really been able to capture him as if he were living, even though the painting might be posthumous as it could very well be painted after Michele Marrulo's death by drowning in 1500," Strehlke said.
The painting is owned by the descendants of politician Francesc Cambo, who acquired it in 1929.The family has previously donated other works of art to Spanish museums but decided to sell this one.
The portrait was on loan for more than a decade from 2004 to Madrid's El Prado Museum. Spain declared it "a work of cultural interest" in 1988, which means it cannot lose its link to Spain. Such works "can only cross our frontiers with official authorization and for a limited period of time established by the permit," the culture ministry said.
The painting is currently in London on a permit. If it is sold, it must be returned to Spain by Oct. 25. The Spanish cultural ministry has the right of first refusal to match the price. If the ministry decides not to purchase it, a buyer residing outside Spain would have to ask for a permit of temporary exportation, which the ministry said "could be granted or not."
Orsi said he's not concerned about Spain's right of refusal, which is a process similar to that for significant cultural works in his native Italy.
"We will see if the government wants to let it go or not," Orsi said, adding that Spain had not expressed an interest in purchasing it during the painting's years at the Prado.
Orsi said ideally the painting would be purchased by a museum, even though that limits the pool of buyers. But even if it lands in private hands, he said it was unlikely to be out of public view for long.
"It has traveled to shows in the past, and it has been requested for a show in Paris next year. It is so important, that even if it is bought by a private collector, it won't disappear and not be seen any more," Orsi said.
Wilson reported from Barcelona. Giulia Sabelli contributed from Florence, Italy.

Putin hopes for better Russia-U.S. ties, anti-terror action
Russian President Vladimir Putin gestures as he gives his annual state of the nation address in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia.
MOSCOW >> President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia hopes to normalize ties with the U.S. and join efforts in the fight against international terrorism.
Speaking in a live state-of-the-nation address, Putin said that Russia is ready to take part in tackling global challenges if its interests are respected.
"We don't want confrontation with anyone," he said in a speech before officials and lawmakers in an ornate, white-marble Kremlin hall.
"Unlike our foreign colleagues who are seeing Russia as an enemy, we have never been looking for enemies, we need friends," Putin said. "But we won't allow any infringement on our interests and neglect of them."
Russia's relations with the West have plummeted to a post-Cold War low over the Ukrainian crisis and the war in Syria. During the U.S. election campaign, President Barack Obama's administration accused Russia of hacking American political sites and email accounts in an effort to interfere with the vote. The Kremlin has rejected the accusations.
"In the last few years. we have faced attempts of foreign pressure with all tools involved — from the myths about Russian aggression, (allegations) of meddling in elections to the hounding of our athletes," Putin said, referring to doping scandals.
Putin said that Russia is looking forward to mending ties with the U.S. after President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
"We are ready for cooperation with the new American administration," he said. "It's important to normalize and develop our bilateral ties on an equal and mutually beneficial basis. We share responsibility for ensuring global security and stability and strengthening the non-proliferation regime."
Putin added that Moscow hopes to pool efforts with Washington in confronting international terrorism.
"Our servicemen in Syria are fulfilling that task," he said.
Russia has conducted an air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, helping his forces make significant gains, most recently in Aleppo, Syria's largest city before the war.
In the speech that was mostly focused on economic and social issues, Putin said that the Russian economy is on the way to recovery, pointing at a growth in some sectors of industry and agriculture. He said agricultural exports this year will top $16 billion, exceeding weapons exports.
The Russian economy contracted 3.7 percent in 2015 and the recession has continued this year under the combined blow of low oil prices and Western sanctions.
Putin said the government should encourage growth by offering support to farmers and create incentives for small businesses.
He noted that inflation, which stood at nearly 13 percent last year, is expected to slow down to 6 percent this year.
Keonigohan says:
Keep your friends close…enemies closer.
Works both ways but….Vladi don't want to work with a career crooked criminal female felon who he totally disdains…being accused of hacking & meddling…from a female?
Let's not get into how Vladi looks at O…a community organizer….past pictures of the two are worth a million rubles.
PE Trump will work & mend relations…a good thing for America.
But make no mistake PE Trump ain't no pushover!
January 20, 2017 #MAGA…taking back the World Leadership! (DJT's presence already started the wheels rolling!)
bsdetection says:
With Trump leading the White House chapter of the Putin fan club (charter members include Trump advisors and paid Putin apologists like General Flynn, Paul Manafort, and Carter Page), I think Putin will be very happy. Russia seizing Ukraine? No problem. Russia supporting Assad in Syria? No problem? Putin objects to NATO? No problem, Trump will dismantle NATO. Given the strong possibility that Putin-controlled Russian banks are keeping the Trump businesses afloat after American banks blacklisted him, Trump's biggest conflict of interest may be the Russian connection. Trump could prove that he owes nothing to Putin and his cronies by releasing his tax returns, but that will never happen. We can only hope that some patriot will leak them to the press. Former acting CIA Director Michael Morell said, "In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation."
wiliki says:
Great restart of cooperation between our two countries.
I hope they can get our military to cooperate with the Russian military in Syria.
I hope we can persuade the Ukrainians to make peace with the Russians.
If Trump can do this, then we will be ready to end the violence in the Middle East.
That's quite a wish list! Trump could be the 21st century's Neville Chamberlain! The U.S. could cooperate with Russia by supporting Syria's genocidal dictator and bombing some hospitals in Aleppo, if Putin hasn't bombed them all already. We could try out chemical weapons on civilians, and then, as they flee the chemical weapons, we could drop barrel bombs on them. Trump will enjoy bombing the families of his enemies. And sexual predator Trump will have the perfect advice for Ukrainians as Putin invades their country — relax and enjoy it. Maybe the U.S. and Russia could have joint military exercises where they shoot down Malaysian airliners for target practice.
Commercial airliners should have stayed out of Ukrainian airspace when there's a war going on down below. They have only themselves to blame.
But we need to recognize that many former Soviet Union countries have huge populations of their own citizens that are ethnically Russian.
These countries shouldn't be persecuting these minorities or treating them as second-class Citizens. That's inviting Russian intervention.
Russians can claim in these circumstances that they need to stand up to American power. The reason these former countries are so aggressive against their own minorities is that they believe they're being backed up by the US and NATO.
Hopefully Trump will set them right.
Do you think Trump should "get our military to cooperate with the Russian military" in Hungary?
Washington Post reports that in Hungary there was "a gunfight in late October between police and the leader of the National Front movement, an extremist group that identifies with Hungarian fascists of the 1930s. Police subsequently raided a number of properties connected to the group and discovered large stockpiles of weapons, according to a report in the Financial Times. Hungary's national security committee reported that Russian diplomats and men dressed in Russian military intelligence uniforms had openly engaged in paramilitary training exercises with members of the group."
They're headed towards a civil war.
Hungarians of Russian descent are being backed up by the Russians.
We shouldn't make the mistake of trying to create more conflict by having NATO and the US involved in the war in Hungary.
It's not our kuleana.
MoiLee says:
During the elections and prior,the Democrats have been blaming the Russians for Everything! From Syria to, Iran, to Iraq, to Hacking the DNC,to Hacking our Election machines.Everything! I mean it's Crazy!
If a Democrat President, ie Hillary Clinton was elected( thank God She Didn't) we would just continue doing the Same ole thing over and over again…..Look what happened yesterday at the USHOR,they for voted Ms "You have to Pass the Bill to know what's inside Bill" or My Fav on OCA… "Affordable, Affordable, affordable, affordable".They voted again for Nancy Pelosi ?
Is this not Insanity?
So how is the hopes of Russia, hoping for "Better Ties" or relations with the US had this happened?
There would be NO improved Relations with the Russians,especially with the way Obama treated Vlad w/The Stink eye lol….Braaah! At times these two look liked they were ready to start "Swinging" at each other at any moment! ….On a jest, in the Octagon,I would take Putin as the clear winner….hands down!Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Hillary Clinton would have been the same or worst…I mean talk about ,"Talking Trash" about Russia and Vladimir Putin.She had hurt herself(Big Time) of having any type of normal relations withe Russian people,by saying those things Sad & SMH.
These people? {Politicians} are supposed to be "Expert Diplomats" when it comes to foreign affairs? I now question that ability,when it comes down to "Career Politicians". This ability w/them? Is Moot!
Ultimately? The American People,"The Silent Majority" made the Right Choice and voted for an "Outsider" President Elect Trump,who,in fact is not responsible for the Worlds Problems we face today! IMUA
It was the FBI and US intelligence services (the ones Trump doesn't have time to meet with) that accused Russia of hacking.
BS detected. The FBI and US Intelligence were reluctant to report this (Russian Hacking) as a facts. Why? They were unsure.Only pointing fingers! With no credible evidence.
But it was those 17 US professional IT ( Hackers ) that were feeding Hillary this stuff . They had No proof,it was pure……… assumptions. Hillary used those assumptions to attack the Russians. remember now?
WSJ: " U.S. intelligence agencies said they are confident senior Russian officials had directed such activities, and that the stolen data was then leaked publicly through Wikileaks, an online persona called Guccifer 2.0, and a website called DCLeaks.com."
The director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Admiral Michael Rogers, was queried about the release of hacked information during the American general election and Donald Trump's campaign.
Admiral Rogers said;
"This was a conscious effort by a nation-state [Russia] to attempt to achieve a specific effect. This was not something that was done casually. This was not something that was done by chance. This was not a target that was selected purely arbitrarily."
latenightroach says:
Putin is relieved to know that we will finally have a POTUS who won't support overthrowing governments. So am I.
O & HRC got this country into a huge mess, their foreign policy in the Middle East is insane. Won't be easy to get out of, but we will. Cooperation with Russia is a good thing.
lol, this country was in a huge mess prior to Obama. It is a real shame so many have forgotten the mess that GW Bush gave us. Whether the Donald won't make it a worse mess remains to be seen. Doesn't seem promising though considering he is just filling the swamp with largely the same or similar alligators.
NanakuliBoss says:
So Putin,white russian, and Trump, white american, wants to fight terrorist in Syria (brown mid easterns). For? To assist NATO? To promote future peace in Syria? No really. They gotta be $$$$$$$$ somewhere,right.
Still waiting for tax returns from Trump. He promised. Shady con man.

The right way to approach the future of work is by making business, labour and government work together in a social dialogue as well as including multilateralism where countries work together, Guy Ryder, director general of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
"The most negative reaction people usually have in the face of change is being left alone to handle a challenge by themselves," Ryder said at a conference on the green economy taking place in Cape Town this week.
"If you have no institutional support, people will dig in their heels in the face of change."
Subscribe to Fin24's newsletter here.
He said climate change and environmental sustainability is one of the drivers of the future of work. Technology is another driver – the "threat" from automation, artificial intelligence (Ai) and robotics.
"People fear it will lead to a chronic situation of job scarcity. I, however, do not subscribe to the idea of 'the end of work'," said Ryder.
Another driver of the future of work he identified is the future of globalisation.
"We are hearing political and other speeches calling globalisation into question. That has a massive impact on the future of work," he cautioned.
"It is also possible that young people and generations still coming might want something different from work than myself and my parents wanted."
He further pointed out that the jobs of the future might not always geographically be where the old jobs were centred. The skills sets needed will likely not be the same either.
"We have to have explicit national processes and plans for change. Governments and trade unions have a role to play too. It is a mistake to think that if one just let the markets to the job, things will be worked out," he said.
"If you just 'let it happen' you will have a difficult future to deal with. So, we have to deal with it now and deal with it together."

Mthunzi Mdwaba, vice-president of the International Organisation of Employers, told delegates that behavioural change is very important when it comes to addressing the future of work.
"You have to divorce yourself from what you are accustomed to about the nature of work. Yet, I still see a lot of elements of denialism in this regard," he explained.
"You have to face the reality that you have to change. As a business, if you stand still, something is going to happen to you."
He added that the business sector needs an environment conducive to change and policy certainty.
"It is about skilling, reskilling and upskilling to deal with changes in the world of work," he concluded.

I'm getting a problem with cPanel 10.2.0-R82 when people receive large attachments.
If the attachement is over around 5mb in size, when trying to download through PoP3 to something like Outlook, it hangs for a while and says their password is invalid.
No amount of resetting passwords etc clears this, and when trying to log on to webmail, Squirrel mail comes up with an IMAP connection dropped error, Horde doesnt come up with anything, just a bar along the top of the screen, and Neo Mail will just time-out.
Every time this happens its a hour long battle of resetting all the mail services, trying to gain access to the inbox to delete the large messages, then having to run a fix on the mailboxes and restarting all the mail services again before they can continue.
Setting a large attachement limit is not an option as my major client is a design company who rely on sending attachments from 1mb up to around 30mb each. Also using IMAP is not practical as they will very quickly blow out their quotas.
I hope someone can help with this, as it's burning my brain out, and not making my client very happy either!
How large is the actual inbox when it has these attachments in it? If they have several emails with large attachments you could easily run out of memory on the server trying to read them. People do seem to forget that email is not the right medium for this, especially since the binary attachments have to be converted to ASCII using BASE64 which will bloat the size of attachements greatly.
Thanks for the reply. I havent noticed the actual size of the inbox file when this error occurs. Each user has a 100mb quota for their inbox and all use POP3 for delievery, so not much is ever left sitting around in the server, but as you say, the actual inbox file could be maxing out their quota.
It seems to be more of a time-out problem, as if you try to access their inbox with something like SquirrelMail, it sits for a huge amount of time and then just says IMAP dropped the connection, and shows the query it was running. If you then restart all mail services (POP, IMAP & Exim) then you get one shot at accessing SquirrelMail successfully, before it all crashes again. When you actually CAN access Squirrel, it's lightening fast and you can delete the humungous files.
Do you think it's a quota problem? I'm wondering that if I bloat their quotas to something like 1GB to take account of the file conversion, it may work?
Did you resolved the problem? I get the same error with attachments over 5 mb.
i am using redhat enterprise awitl release version cpanel.
I got problem when sending ver 4MB attachemnt by ms outlook n urlook express.
As yet, i'm not sure if the problem has been fixed. After experiencing this problem for so long, and going by what Chirpy mentioned about running out of memory, I upgraded our server from a 1.8Ghz with 512mb RAM to an Intel 3Ghz HT with 1GB ram, and I've had no problems with mail since. Having said that, I'm not aware of how many, if any at all, large attachments have been sent.
When I changed the server, I also changed from cPanel release version to stable version. If i've had no reports of errors over the next week or so, i'll assume it's been resolved by the hardware upgrade and report back to let you know.
What spec machines are you running on? Just as a comparison to see whether you have similar to our old server, and whether that truely could have been the problem.
I am using Dual Xen 2.4 HT with 1GB RAM, nly hsted 20 domains hosting.
But I have no problem in Webmail. Just problem in Ms utlok and Oultook Epress.
Does is a server network issue?
Well, I've discovered what the problem is. When people are receiving these large attachements, their mail client is timing out, dumping the server in mid-download. The server will eventually kick back in of its own accord. I've told my client to upgrade their broadband connection, or get some software that prevents time-outs when downloading mail, such as Norton Anti-Virus/Personal Firewall.
I tested sending attachements of up to 30mb to myself without difficulty, which is how we managed to discover it was purely their connection speed to the internet.
